How to select different parts of the text? cmd button no longer does that...

After installing Maverics i can no longer propertly edit my work as I cannot mark different parts of text using cmd button. Shift works as before for highlighting all the text from starting point to selected point but I can no longer use cmd to highlight different areas of the text. Is this an OS bug? Or was the button for selecting different parts of the text changed? I tried everything...

It's just a small part of what makes Pages 5 so "stunning" (Apple's word). You think stripping out the nifty ability to mark non-contiguous passages of text was neat? Sure that was nice. But Apple has gotten rid of more, so much more. And for free!
Just wait till you put the product through its paces and you discover other nice features that are missing, such as (but not limited to):
- no linking of text boxes!  Yes, that's right. Now a newsletter that had a "continued on page 6" or whatever will be broken by Pages 5. Stunning! (Even more stunning, Pages 5 will strip out all sorts of formatting from documents created with Pages 4.3 and it will do ao without warning and will save the document in a NEW unified file format so that it cannot be opened by Pages 4.3, thereby potentially losing users hours and hours of work. Stunning!
There's more!
- Pages 5 has no mail merge, no bookmarks, no images in headers/footers! Pages 4.3 has those features, but this stunning new release removes them.
- Pages 5 features vastly reduced and simplified set of templates (there used to be about 130 Apple-cupplied templates, now there are about 60).
- Page 5 also boasts NO RTF SUPPORT, so a paper your wrote with Apple's own TextEdit is not natively readable with Pages: Stunning!
- No detail was too small to omit in this stunning new release: the vertical ruler, so you can easily place text or an obejct at a certain place in a document: gone! Setting the default zoom: gone!  Status bar reproting word count and pagecount (e.g., Page 4 of 48): Gone! View comments in the left side bar: Gone!  Autocapitalization: Gone! Search & Replace: drastically simplified!
But here's the really good news: Pages 5 is just PERFECT for creating a one page-poster advertising a new concert by Apple employee Eddie Cue. What's more you can collaborate on it with someone else, even if they're using a PC. Now that's "stunning"!

  • The new tab button no longer does anything in 15.0.1.

    Since installing the latest version of Firefox, the "New Tab" tab (with the plus sign) no longer does anything. How do I fix this bug?

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do not click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • How can I make part of the text bold

         TheProfileRoot.EngineeringText.text = "Level " + PlayerEngineerLevel + " Engineer - level up in " + PlayerReqEngineer + " xp";
    I want the "Level " + PlayerEngineerLevel to be bold. And the rest to be plain. How can I do this?

    I can't troubleshoot AS2.0 right now as my computer is undergoing a recovery, but from your post I can see a solution.  Assign variables to several text fields, some of them with the attributes of having bold text assigned in the Flash authoring platform, and some of them having default values.  I am sure there are attributes such as boldness that can be set using AS2.0 but again I can't troubleshoot and my reference material is not with me right now.  (Most of my reference material is for AS3.0 which I am in the process of learning)

  • Apply Different effects to different parts of same text?

    I have a text logo, which I want to keep intact (there's kerning) so it's all in one text box.
    Let's say:
    HelloNiceWeather
    Could I apply different effects to different parts of the text? (for example I have 'hello' slide up from the bottom of the screen and 'nice' from the top?)
    thanks! It's appreciated

    You can use text Animators to effect specific characters within a text layer, defined by the "Range" parameters of the Animator.  This includes functions like moves, colour fill and stroke, rotation, blur, and many more.  So, in your example, you can apply an Animator to the character range "Nice", program your horizontal move, then apply a new Animator to the character range "Hello", and move them in a different way.
    Read more about Animators in the Help documents here.
    To apply plugin effects (like Lens Blur or Bezier Warp, for example) you would probably need to duplicate your text layer, mask out the unwanted characters, and apply the effect - depending on what you were trying to achieve.

  • When I select a part of a text and click in "Search Google", a new tab is opened. I don't like the switch. I want the search result in a background page.

    When I select a part of a text in a page, use the right button of mouse and click in "Search Google for "the text"", I want a new tab open in a NEW TAB BACKGROUND. How do I set that? Thanks.

    Ok, I found a reply about it in
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/952403
    "hello, its possible to achieve this through the settings in firefox - just enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preference named '''browser.search.context.loadInBackground'''. double-click it and change its value to '''true'''. "
    Thanks!

    Have you tried HELP in FINDER?  If you open HELP and enter 'displays' in the field in the upper right hand corner you will get a list of topics on setting up monitors.  Specifically read 'Setting up multiple displays to show the same image' and 'Setting up multiple displays as an extended desktop'.

  • How to select multiple values from the Parameters in the concurrent program

    How to select multiple values from the Parameters defined in the concurrent program...and i believe multiple selection is not a direct feature of EBS, but is there any workaround solution to acheive mulitple selection?

    I think there's no way to do that using standard feature.
    Some workaround I use :
    1. If the number of selections are fixed, you could use multiple parameters for the same valueset. For example :
    Selection1 : <choose first selection>
    Selection2: <choose 2nd selection>
    ..etc.
    If you don't use it then leave it empty.
    2. Use text varchar valueset and enter it manually and separate by comma (or other value) , eg : selection1,selection2,selection3....etc.

  • UITextView doesn't display the first part of the text

    I am having a trouble with UITextView.
    When a text view is loaded for the first time after my app is launched (the text view is created and text is filled from saved data), the text view displays from the first letter of the text.
    But once the text view becomes first responder, then disappers by pressing back button on a navigation bar, and come back to the text view again by using a control on the previous view (a button for instance), the text view always displays the last part of the text.
    This happens after the text view becomes first responder. What is changed before and after the text view becomes first responder? And how can I avoid this to display the first letter in the text view always when it appears?
    I tried resignFirstResponder, selectedRange, and scrollRangeToVisible: in viewWill/DidAppear/Disappear but all of them didn't work.

    Thank you iPhil_good, but it didn't work ...
    And RickMaddy, I don't know how to post image but as it is UITextView, I use text to explain.
    There are two views, home view and text view, and UITextView is in the text view. The first time the UITextView appears (slides in from the home view), it looks like:
    Test[1] Test[2] Test[3] Test[4]
    Test[5] Test[6] Test[7] Test[8]
    Test[9] Test[10] Test[11] Test[12]
    Suppose the text starts at Test[1] and ends at Test[200], and just the first 50 are visible within the size of the UITextView.
    Once I tap on the UITextView, keyboard appears and UITextView becomes first responder (editable). Then I go back to the home view using back button on the navigation bar.
    Then again I move back to the text view from the home view,. This time it looks like:
    Test[189] Test[190] Test[191] Test[192]
    Test[193] Test[194] Test[195] Test[196]
    Test[197] Test[198] Test[199] Test[200]
    I would like to display the text from Test[1] whenever the view appears. If the UITextView hasn't become first responder, this doesn't happen and the text starts from Test[1] when it appears. But once the UITextView becomes first responder, the UITextView always displays Test[200] at the bottom of the view when it appears.
    I am not sure but it looks as though some internal state of UITextView changes when it becomes first responder, but isn't reset even after it resigns first responder.

  • When scaling in page setup, 1st page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly/too large for the paper, parts of the text missing

    When trying to print in Firefox, and when scaling the page size in page setup, the first page prints correctly, but subsequent pages do not scale correctly and are too large for the paper, with parts of the text are being cut off at the top and right. This is not fixed by checking or un-checking the "ignore scaling/shrink to fit page width" in the print window, or by changing the scaling%.
    I am running Firefox 15.0.1, on Mac OS 10.5.8.
    The same problem happens in the print preview and if I save the print as a .pdf
    I have tried all the fixes in the how to's and others in various forums with no improvement.
    This happens every time I try to print a document scaled up or down only in Firefox.

    The 2nd page print scaling error has been an issue with Firefox on the Mac since 2011. People at Mozilla have not considered this a major problem. Try printing anything at less than 100% and you'll quickly see how every page after the first page being scaled wrong gets old real fast. The lack of a solution to this issue forced me long ago into using Safari as my primary browser. Good luck waiting until version 21 for a solution. Current release is 18.0.2.

    Why do you not want to use Active X?
    One very good reason that I can think of is that MS keeps changing their ActiveX interface with each version of Excel, so code written for one version of Excel using ActiveX may not work for another version of Excel, even though the basic functionality hasn't changed. A perfect example is when MS changed the "Value" property to "Value2". Yeah, that made a whole lot of sense.

    Then it's something you're doing. Please post your code. Have you tried a search on this forum for ActiveX and Excel? There have been tons of posts on it, including lots of examples. There's also the Excel thread.

  • TFS Workitems:Bugs : I want ot select different lists, from the global list, for fields basd upon user group

    Hi,
    I am customizing the bug workitem workflow.
     I want ot select different lists, from the gllobal list, for fields basd upon user group
    I am aware that I can use "when" clauses in the allowed/suggested values of the field.
    My question is : how do I get the group(s) that the current user is in and how do use this to select different lists?

    Hi!
    You can not do this through standard way. You must to create the custom work item control:
    http://witcustomcontrols.codeplex.com/
    And get the user group through IIdentityManagementService.
    IIdentityManagementService IdentityService = _workItem.Store.TeamProjectCollection.GetService<IIdentityManagementService>();
    TeamFoundationIdentity _curid = null;
    _workItem.Store.TeamProjectCollection.GetAuthenticatedIdentity(out _curid);
    string _group = "Admin";
    var _gr = IdentityService.ReadIdentity(IdentitySearchFactor.AccountName, _group, MembershipQuery.Direct, ReadIdentityOptions.None);
    if (_gr.Members.Where(s => s.Identifier == _curid.Descriptor.Identifier).Count() > 0) return true;
